We have received today news about the failure of the Eurohouse creditor´s meeting. It was expected.  Creditor´smeetings are not, as we have said repeteadly, (i.e.- posts 493, 747) the solution for your claims regarding off plan puchases.

We, unfortunatedly,  expect some other creditor´s meeting to fail within the following months/ year. So implement actions against financial institutions out of Law 57/68 as these are the most effective solutions.

Any good lawyer in Spain will be able to agree and work on this. We know there are many already doing an excellent job.

Let´s keep fighting for balance and restoration,

Few, timid buyers starting to take advantage of the extremely favourable conditions of the market these days.

Yesterday, a client os us buying in Murcia with a 60% reduction on 2007 price.

Who is next?

 I am always so happy when I  receive a thanks email from readers of my blog .

It really is me who needs to give thanks to you all as this blog makes one of the dreams I have from childhood: to write and help people with my writings. Yes, I always try my posts to contribute in a simple and accessible way to make good:bring hope, positive sense of life among other aspects..... It would not make sense to me otherwise. Becuase it is the content and the mission which matters, more than  the form. I do not care too scrupuluousl ( as you all already know) about a perfect use of the English language. And you... so graciously accept this!

So, thanks from very deep inside me.

I am still at Zahara de los Atunes. Children and husband are enjoying sun and water at Doña Lola hotel´s pool and I take the siesta time as a chance to check emails and write a bit to you. 

For your enjoyment today, these two activities: TorreTavira in Cádiz and A Campo Abierto in Medina Sidonia, both, of course, in Costa de la Luz.

I was enjoying my conversation with a young South African girl, Bridget, working as an au-pair with some kids here at the town. She was mentioning to me how she was discovering the richness of the spanish family and how caring we are. Yes, it is much in the essence of our society. Zahara de los Atunes, for instance is a small town composed by families which interact, mingle and know each other.

We are starting, hopefully in September, a collaboration with a Spanish company that tries to populate and settle people in little, low-populated towns in Spain, helping them even to find a job or create a company. We will tell you more as the project is more settled.

Anyhow.... thanks again to you all. Indeed.

As always, accurate and cutting Rule:

 I am currently with the family in Zahara de los Atunes, as every year.

Pace is slow and we are enjoying simple things in life. I have been thinking of you these days and whether if writing normal legal posts as the rest of the year or, otherwise, to write a more special type of things during the summer break.

Firstly, for those of you who still do not know Zahara, I highly recommend you to come over. You can feel more Spain than in other coastal areas and nature, traditions, idiosincrasy... is vividly felt at every step.  Whale watching, horseriding at the beach, mule rides through natural park, kite surf, contemporary art and nature, trekking, mountain bike, try dives, fun diving, kayak, beach games.... are also among the sports and cultural offers of the area.

Best tunna fish of the world of course! Japanese come over here every year for huge purchases of this specie.

Simple and near people wiling you to enjoy and smile at every single corner. 

In the middle of all these treasures, at the papers, so many apparently  negative and depressing news. I am determined to the positive interpretation of the same. It is a era of changes. Just the fact that Banks and ultra liberal capitalist systems are being put into questions, and before Judges is a reason for big celebrations. We need to go through the measles but, rooted in rights once declared as pivotal for all of us, human dignity crowning them, I am confident we will find the solution.

Among the statistical and macroeconomical news, three pieces with great soul and value for this July:

1. Antonio Hernández Gil, dean of Lawyers in Madrid, has recently written in ABC on the importance of logics of donations, gifts and solidarity within the mercantilism of our societies. For the promotion and consolidation of values expressed in our constitution: social and democratic estate which higher values  are freedom, justice and equality.

 The article made me think on one of my habitual matters: culture of work. A clear understanding of equality and equal oportunities  is necessary so we will not mistake equal opportunities and equalitarism.  Equal oportunities needs to be given to all people. Different wills and efforts will finally  work them out differently. The value of the product is what it will be prized.

2. Sir John Elliott, who, also at ABC stated yesterday nice and truthful things such as:

"There is a very well educated and interesting new generation in Spain, especially among women"

" There is a crisis of values. Specially within the financial sector. Morality and sense of  civic actitude are lost. They are out of reality and live in a virtual world. Civic sense is missed"

and thirdly and finally:

3. Bank of Spain has recently prohibitted "small letters" in financial products as part of a new actitude and  part of a  transparency code which will  govern relationships between Banks and consumers".Let´s hope for a great development of the actitude and the code

I am going to the pool with kids and husband now

See you in a moment

   Note: Almost in the middle of the picture, but to the left side, on the sea, you can see "The Almadraba" (the place where some fishing boats are fishing many tuna).In the spotlight, you can see the area named Atlanterra --where you can find on all developments; and, to the right and top of the picture, but beside of the beach, you can find the little village of Zahara de los Atunes.If you need to go to the village, you have take a little road till Zahara; but if you just want to go to Atlanterra, you can take a new road almost before reaching the village to the left side.Thn, you will reach Atlanterra directly. Atlanterra is around 3,5 Kms from the village.
